Composer and pianist trained at the conservatories of Mons and Brussels, Yves Gourmeur has forged a rich and eclectic career spanning jazz, popular music, world music, and classical repertoire before devoting himself entirely to film scoring.

​

In 2019, he was nominated for a Canadian Screen Award for his score for The Hummingbird Project by Kim Nguyen, starring Jesse Eisenberg, Salma Hayek, and Alexander Skarsgård, produced by Item7 (Canada) and Beside Productions.

​

He is also active in animation, having composed the score for Street Party – Mugge & Vejfesten (2020), directed by Wullfmorgenthaler and produced by Zentropa (Denmark/Belgium).

​

Yves Gourmeur has extensive experience in international co-productions, having composed for films such as Les Sœurs Chaos (Germany), Apaches and Au nom d’Emma (France), as well as Heysel – Dans l’enfer de la foule and Méprises (Belgium).

His talent extends to television as well, with original music for series including Becoming Karen Blixen (Denmark), Attractions (Belgium/France), Après la nuit (Belgium/France), Nacht im Paradies (Germany), and Beyond Black Beauty (Canada).

​

Working from his own studio dedicated to scoring for visual media, he collaborates closely with a trusted network of musicians, technicians, and sound engineers. He is also the CEO of MY SCORE SRL, a company specializing in executive music production for film and television.

​

An improviser, jazz musician, orchestrator, and explorer of both contemporary and electro-experimental music, Yves Gourmeur places storytelling at the core of his creative process—guided by curiosity, precision, and a deeply musical intuition.​​
